White smoke from ehaust

[nigelpay]

I have white smoke comming from my exhaust also it is burning a lot of oil. The head gasket has been replaced any idess?

Whwn the head gasket was replaced was the head skimmed?

If the car overheated when the gasket went the first time enough for the head to warp ever so slightly then without a skim it's quite possible for the new one to fail to seal properly and you'll have to go through the whole thing again.

Also possible I guess is a crack in the block allowing coolant into the cylinders. Some Range Rovers were famous for this but I don't think it would explain your oilb burning.

I'd be inclined to agree with Jake's diagnosis. White smoke is effectively steam, due to the coolant entering the combustion chamber. The oil is disappearing in the same direction, probably..

They didn't a very good job of the repair, by the looks of it.
